EFAs & Oils

Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids are Essential Fatty Acids, and are considered ‘essential’ because the body is not capable of producing them itself - they have to be ingested. In contrast, Omega 9 can be produced by the body (if there are enough essential acids present) and so is not considered essential. EFAs main role, for bodybuilders, is to aid in muscle growth and fat loss.
